Title	7 July 1854 Letter William Longsdon, Hamilton to C J Brydges, Managing Director, requesting him to refer to instructions to William Longsdon by London Committee of Great Western shareholders and also to Circular issued by Committee and that then he will give order that writer can have access to all official correspondence of Company, also all documents and reports of whatever kind that may come in or go out of offices. If Brydges feels any in impropriety in this the writer must of necessity refer to Board. But while writer is there specially representing the English shareholders and taking a salary for doing so, whilst writer is acting as Chairman of Finance Committee and Vice President of the Company to be told by a Secretary that he cannot let writer see the letters "without permission" is what writer cannot consent to. Writer sends this note in the present form so that no misunderstanding may exist - for he does not want to increase either Brydges' trouble or his own. Endorsed: Not delivered but given him to read 7 November having before told him the object and contents of it.
